I think this was the most severe he could be charged with.

The was a legal argument that COULD be made for 1st but not a good one. This is the most severe thing they have a hope of winning a conviction for

Yes, I expected manslaughter. Then again second degree will be harder to prove.

He went and talked to them without an attorney it sounds like. Who knows what he told them?

They will have a tough time with this conviction. Even if everything is as the news media claim, a 3rd degree murder charge would be the maximum appropriate rap.
If you live anywhere near the area, be sure your fire insurance is paid up in the event things don't go the mob's way.

I’m not a legal expert, so here’s my question:
If Zimmerman is charged with 2nd-degree murder, can a jury still decide to find him guilty of a lesser charge such as manslaughter?

It is and at some point he will likely be pressured to take a plea to manslaughter. That is if he lasts that long without being murdered.

The first American Civil War started on April 12. Today is April 11.
What will tomorrow bring?

Well the jury must have some “white-hispanics” otherwise Zimmerman is not being judged by a jury of HIS peers.
